I've extensively followed several seperate guides for creating a child theme that falls back to rwd in magento. Each time i do it however, i end up getting stuck like this.
The steps i followed:
Made new directory /app/design/frontend/mypackage/mytheme which contains etc, layout and template. Layout contains local.xml (which is blank for now) and etc contains theme.xml.
<theme>
<parent>rwd/default</parent>
</theme>
Made new directory /skin/frontend/mypackage/mytheme with contains a copy of the images, css and scss from rwd. There's also a js folder in here. In the scss folder, i've modified config.rb to have the following:
http_path = "/skin/frontend/mypackage/mytheme/"
css_dir = "../css"
sass_dir = "../scss"
images_dir = "../images"
javascripts_dir = "../js"
relative_assets = true
add_import_path "../../../rwd/default/scss"
output_style = :expanded
environment = :production
According to all the documentation i've gone over this should be the bare minimum for a fallback scenario and as i've got no other xml files set up it should, in theory, look exactly like the rwd theme?
Am i going about this the right way?
The backend is set to mypackage and the theme is set to mytheme. It's been a while since i've worked with magento but i can't see what's wrong.
After smashing my head against a wall for a while i realised that i was calling a template from another package. I've made "mytheme" inside the rwd folder and everything lines up properly. Thank you Cameron for helping me!
